t amid persecution and demoralization. But the book as a whole, is very fragmentary and episodical, and in this respect, as well as in the wide range of merit and demerit in the verses here and there interspersed, it reminds one of Thoreau's Week on the Concord and Merrimack rivers. It is hardly possible, however, to regret these episodes, since one of them contains that rare piece of childish autobiography, Mariana; which is however separated from its context in her collected works. In 1844. she removed to New York. It is not the least of Horace Greeley's services to the nation, that he was willing to entrust the literary criticisms of the Tribune to one whose standard of culture was so far above that of his readers or his own. Nevertheless, there she remained for nearly two years, making fearless use of her great opportunity of influence. She was dogmatic, egotistic, and liable to err; but in this she did not differ from her fellow-critics. The point of difference was in th

eopled with the heroes and heroines of old. Mrs. Browning was a child of remarkable precocity. She wrote verses at ten, and appeared in print at the age of fifteen. In the dedication to her father of the edition of her poems which appeared in 1844, she pleasantly speaks of the time far off when I was a child and wrote verses, and when I dedicated them to you who were my public and my critic. This childish precocity was not an indication of early ripening genius. Her powers matured slowly.f her grief are far more affecting, because they are far less labored and artistic, and seem to come more directly from the heart, than the mournful beauty of the In Memoriam. In 1838 Mrs. Browning published The Seraphim and other poems, and in 1844 a collection of her Poems in two volumes, including the Drama of exile. The reception with which these poems met in England was, though not highly flattering, certainly very far from discouraging. Their faults were severely but not unjustly crit

mark an era in human progress, and not the idiosyncrasy of a few unbalanced minds. Antoinette Brown Antoinette Brown was born in Henrietta, Monroe County, New York, May 20th, 1825. At the age of nine years she joined the Congregational church, and sometimes spoke and prayed in the meetings. In childhood she often expressed the wish that she might become a preacher. At the age 9f sixteen, she taught school during the summer, and attended the academy in Henrietta during the winter. In 1844 she went to Oberlin performing alone her first journey by canal and stage, to begin the experience of college life. While there she taught several branches in the seminary, in order to pay the expenses of her collegiate course. In 1846 she taught in the academy in Rochester. There her first lecture was delivered, in accordance with the custom of the male teachers, to address the pupils and visitors at the close of the terms. Her vacations at Oberlin had been passed in extra study of Gree

utchers and flayers. At last she made her debut in the Salon exhibition of 1841, with two pictures, entitled Goats and sheep, and Two Rabbits. The next year she followed with Animals in a field, A cow lying in a meadow, and A horse sale. In 1844 she exhibited Horses out to pasture, and Horses going to water. She kept her pictures in her study until she was satisfied with them, never compromising her reputation with a hasty production; so that in the exhibition of 1844 she had but three1844 she had but three little paintings and the clay model of a bull; but, in 1845, she sent in twelve pictures of marked merit with the true stamp of genius. Mademoiselle Bonheur did not have to struggle through long years of obscurity. She rose at once into fame. Her works, though at first a little timid, showed unexampled accuracy, purity, and a vigorous sentiment of nature. The purchase of her noble picture of Cantal oxen, by England, set the seal to her reputation; and at the same time the French commit
